ExplanationCommentary
Verse 28. After. From this verse to the end the prophet speaks of the times succeeding the captivity, and more especially of the propagation of the gospel. The enemies of God’s people shall be destroyed, (Calmet. 3:1) which seems to refer to Cambyses. Ezekiel 38. Calmet.—My spirit. This plainly foretells the coming of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2.
